Project of the week: Math.NET Numerics

Math.NET is an open source initiative to implement mathematical computation in .NET. It includes numerical computing, symbolic algebra, geometry, and signal processing. This week, we’ll look at numerical computing.

Here’s how you can define matrices and vectors, manipulate them, and perform operations between them:

Notice how the vector’s coordinates are defined with an expression rather than plain numerical values.

You can also solve equation systems, do statistics, probability, and even fit curves. It really is a mathematical treasure trove.

It’s especially nice that the packages come with examples in C#, F#, and VB.

User group meeting of the week: Building a Robot Army & Encryption with .NET and SQL 2016

Xamarin App of the week: Storyo

Storyo creates beautiful, shareable video-stories automatically from the metadata in your photos (such as time and location) as well as other contextual information. With Xamarin, the team reduced engineering complexity by using a single, shared solution for video rendering on both iOS and Android, bringing their app to users in 170 countries faster.

Control of the week: SideDrawer for UWP and Xamarin

Telerik’s SideDrawer control is a nice implementation for a slide-out navigation UI for modern mobile applications. It works with Xamarin and UWP, which enables it to target Android, iOS, and Windows.
